Hayden Prospect Purnell Productive In Loss
[player_tooltip player_id="49773" first="Desmond" last="Purnell"] had a solid two-way effort in Hayden’s Week 2 28-22 loss to Centennial League rival Seaman.
Here is a scouting report on the Wildcats’ loss.
<strong>Offensive Three Stars </strong>
<strong>ATH, [player_tooltip player_id="49773" first="Desmond" last="Purnell"], 6’0”, 205 </strong>– Purnell scored all three touchdowns for Hayden. He returned a kickoff 90 yards for one score and then had two end zone receptions. Purnell is an explosive player who can hit the hole quick and outrun defenders. He finished with 6 receptions for 108 yards. He finished tied with a team-high 10 tackles. Purnell has offers from JUCO programs but has not made a commitment.
<strong>QB, Johnny Holloway, 5’11”, 135</strong> – Holloway had one of his best high school games at quarterback. He completed 16 passes and threw for two touchdowns. The Hayden senior is quick, but projects to be a wideout or defensive back from college recruiters.
<strong>OL, [player_tooltip player_id="35665" first="Joe" last="Ottig"], 6’3”, 255 (’23 Ranked 24)</strong> – Ottig is just a sophomore and starts both ways for Hayden. He is going to be a player DII programs lock in on and could be a fringe DI recruit. He has a big frame, and room to make big improvements. He had a solid game on the offensive line and five tackles playing on the defensive line.
<strong>Defensive Three Stars</strong>
<strong>LB, [player_tooltip player_id="35443" first="Will" last="DeVader"], 5’10”, 190, (’21 Ranked 129)</strong> – DeVader finished with 10 tackles playing linebacker. The senior is a hard hitter, relays the defensive play calls, and wraps up on tackles. He is still looking for college offers.
<strong>LB, [player_tooltip player_id="35479" first="Jordan" last="Rainer"], 6’3”, 190 (’21 Ranked 168)</strong> – Rainer has a football motor and belongs on the defensive side of the ball. He is a run-stuffing linebacker and can run down fast runners. He had nine tackles in the loss to the Vikings. He is being looked at by JUCO coaches.
<strong>DB, Ja’Mier Garrett, 5’11”, 180 </strong> – Garrett was an impressive surprise. The senior had five tackles and has a nose for the football. He has not received many looks from college scouts yet, but if he keeps playing like he did against Seaman; it won’t take much longer.
